Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Apply your interest in electronic devices and stand at the forefront of creating innovative new technologies.

Electrical engineers have played a significant role in advancing technology, continuously innovating and enhancing systems that benefit society. Smartphones have revolutionised the way we communicate, electronics in security systems help us feel safer, and new electrical systems in medical equipment have allowed us to monitor patients more effectively.  

Keen to play your part? With the rapid expansion of the sustainability and technology sector, the demand for electrical engineers has risen. You could find yourself at the forefront of innovation in manufacturing or aerospace. Designing power electronics to improve wireless communication technologies. Or, how about helping the UK to have cleaner energy to meet the 2050 wind generation targets? With many global organisations having research and development facilities across the UK, the choice is yours.
